Lidl had 'em a couple of weeks ago. Depending on how accurate you need to be - if it's just going into clamps then probably not spot on, then a hacksaw will get you through 30 tubes in about 30 minutes.

It's for a structure involving Tubeclamps so I don't think that perfection is required. If I can get through a tube in about a minute or even two, it would be quicker than renting a saw. If it were 10 mins per cut, then that's another thing

Thank you John.
This looks like a reasonable solution.
Of course it creates the next quandary. I only have a 125mm angle grinder at present. I suspect that that would not cut completely through a tube of
34mm OD without rotating the tube (although I suppose I can do that.
So outlay for large stand = £30, 230mm angle grinder (say Bosch) at £86 - total £116. OTOH, I do get a bigger angle grinder that can be used for other things. OTOOH, I don't have much other need for a large angle grinder
Entry level cutoff saw seems to be £100 or £117 for apparently better (Jet) one from Axminster. Trouble is that it's physically quite large (needs to be stored) and I can't think of many other applications where I want to cut length of metal..
Rental prices on bench cut off saws seem to vary between £35 and £45, but not clear whether this includes the disc, whether there's a deductable for use or whether one has to buy their discs at some inflated price.
